The gender difference that prevails in every sector of society we live in, it’s a global business. The great differences that exist and exist between men and women, in fact, do not concern only the most disadvantaged countries: it is a question of a common problem that needs new solutions.
The search for equality is nowadays a much discussed topic also in France where 120 women managers, through a letter to Macron, have become spokespersons for the battle of economic inequalities between men and women. But they did not limit themselves only to making their voices heard, but rather to suggest concrete measures that can be activated immediately, to change and improve things.
Already some time ago, before the pandemic and the economic emergency, Marlène Schiappa, French activist and politician, delegate minister responsible for citizenship in the government of Prime Minister Jean Castex, had brought to light a problem that did not concern only the country but also the whole world: aincreasingly wandering gender emergency.
His goal was also endorsed in the declaration signed at the G7 in Paris: to make gender equality a global cause. And it is probably her work that inspired the appeal of women entrepreneurs, professionals and activists who are fighting against the gender gap.
In the spotlight there is above all the great imbalance that exists in economic parity, aimed at creating a real state of emergency. And it is absurd that, despite the proposals made in recent years by activists from all over the world, those concrete solutions, capable of transforming this period of crisis into an opportunity, have not yet been implemented.
In the letter sent to Macron by the French women, they are indicated a series of concrete measures aimed at reducing and eliminating the gender pay gap ready only to be applied: we suggest the introduction of pink quotas, a measure aimed at balancing the presence of men and women in decision-making bodies, the Pay Equiti Act, the Canadian law that aims to that of achieving wage parity and financing for start-ups led by women.
In short, the request is simple: that of creation of a global plan capable of reducing existing prejudices and guaranteeing equal access between women and men to entrepreneurship for France and for the whole world.
